Running PostgreSQL on DockHive
Smallest size
PostgreSQL needs at least a Small HivePod (about $4 a month if it runs all the time). Smaller sizes can't be picked for it. It is billed by the hour while it runs, from your plan's included vCPU-hours first, and a stopped pod costs nothing. A Small pod needs more than the Free Tier's 1 vCPU, so use the Developer or Pro Plan.
Runs in the background
PostgreSQL has no web page of its own. It runs in the background in its HivePod, where you can open a terminal and read its logs.
Set up at install
The install form asks for one setting before PostgreSQL starts. Everything else, including passwords other services need, is generated for you.
Your data and backups
PostgreSQL's data stays on the pod's disk and survives restarts. HivePod backups include all of it, and restoring a backup brings back the same app with the same data.
